(Feature image: Late afternoon in Sumner) When Christchurch is sunny it is awesome… however over the last three weeks nature has feed us a continued diet of rain, wind and fog. Although it has not deterred Jude and I from doing walks and MTB’ing, I will say sunshine would definitely increase our enjoyment levels. Nether the less we still get out to the farmers markets etc. Today (Saturday) we headed over to Lyttelton to the Lyttelton Markets to get some more sauce via the Summit Road. The mist was as thick as pea soup as we headed up the Port Hills, but three quarters of the way up we cleared the fog to a magical view of Christchurch… well  where it should have been anyway. For as far as the eye could see for 360 degrees there was nothing but a veil of fog hiding everything below it barring a few high hills poking above the fog level. You will also notice a high cloud layer in the pictures as well which will stop the sun lifting the fog and keep it a cool day.
